Those commercials that ask, "What's in your wallet?" always make your Webmistress think of the genealogical equivalent: "What's in your files?"

Perhaps you've copied family Bibles or old letters, and you've transcribed the information to include it in your research database. Why not browse through and see what you have to share, then send it to us for posting on this site. You will retain ownership/copyright, and you will receive credit for the submission. |
